The synchrotron accelerator has many varieties. Some confusion exists in the widely scattered literature on particle accelerators as to the basic similarities and differences of the various types. This confusion is partly due to indistinct designation. In this review paper each variety is designated and described as a logical derivation from a previous type, and the basic principle of operation of each is described in turn. Factors governing oscillations in phase and in orbit are listed and described. Basic references are presented covering each point.
